On August 12, 2019, Gravity Architecture will open at our new studio at 405-999 8 ST SW in Calgary’s Beltline district.
There was lots that we liked about our old location. It was relatively central, easy to get to, had lots of free parking, and it was easy to pop outside for a breath of fresh air. However, on the downside, our studio was split into two spaces which made team communication feel disconnected. Moreover, it only had copper pair for internet services, so we had to rely on a fixed wireless connection to get even modest speeds.
After an extensive search, we chose our new location because it fixes these problems, while creating a lot of new opportunities. We were able to add about 1000 SF, which gives us a larger studio, a second board room, a kitchen large enough to gather in, and a usable storage room. Being in the Beltline gives our staff more transportation options, and puts us close to City Hall and our printer. We were also careful to choose a building that has a good supply of free two-hour visitors stalls for our clients. It also doesn’t hurt for us to be so close to M.E.C., The Holy Grill, Posto, Analog, etc.
We look forward to welcoming visitors to our new space. .
